Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Comic book style violence of fantasy monsters like vampires, werewolves, skeletons, witches, ghosts, goblins against RPG type adventurers, like swordsmen, clerics, mages, etc.
Battle attacks have black, white, & red hit effects, which to some may imply bloody effects. Among the party members you can recruit are the healers: Vampire, Cultist, or the Witch, which may be objectionable.
Should be clearly represented in the trailer, if you can handle that you should be fine.
